Amavi 2006 Sémillon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Sémillon Washington
Winery: Amavi / Columbia Valley (WA)

Consistent with recent vintages, this lovely Sémillon opens immediately into a creamy, leesy, expressive core. Scents of green apple, lemon and beeswax turn into lush fruit flavors of melon, pear and citrus. It shows far more complex and interesting fruit character than most unoaked Chardonnays—here, the acids are not intrusive, but come up naturally in the back of the throat.
